1)Folder Game....."That contains 2 subfolders + Files A-H"
Folder 1 "contains" (A=10mb, B=20Mb, C=30mb, D=40mb)
Folder 2 "contains" (E=50mb, F=60Mb, G=70mb, H=80mb)
2)The program divides considering the size of the largest single file since it can not 'split the single file.
3)Then you will sum "A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H = 360mb/80Mb = 4.5 Folders "that the program rounds up to 5 Folders"
So:
Folder 1 = "A+B+C"
Folder 2 = "A+C"
Folder 3 = "A+D+H"
Folder 4 = "F+G+E"
Folder 5 = "B+C+D+G"
Now comes in RDF eliminates all duplicates in the five folders, leaving the individual files as well as real and 'the original folder including the size.
Before using RDF = "A+B+C" + "A+C" + "A+D+H" + "F+G+E" + "B+C+D+G" = 15file : 570mb 
After using RDF = "A+B" + "C+D" + "E" + "F+G" + "H" = 8file : 360mb. 
very simple  |
really good explained!
i encountered this exact "problem", with having 5 folders all 4gb big (20gb) - 6gb bigger than the original game.
i must say, directory slicer does a pretty bad job.
i use a program called "DVDspan", which does the same thing, but good. without double files and nearly perfect filled folders.
in the end it packs the folders in .iso files, which you then must unpack, but it gets the job done.
what i want to say is: after directoryslicer and doublefileremover (RDF.exe) i can make a better result manually, than leaving the folders as they were.
i compress with my own tools, so its not critisism to your work, more to the failed dream i had with directoryslicer being better than DVDspan.
in the end, splitting folders is work noone wants to do by themself :P
